- Application Advice
Dissolving:
- M40 is soluble in many organic solvents such as esters, ketones, aromatic hydrocarbons including styrene and lower alcohols.
- M40 should be added carefully to the solvent system under sufficient agitation to ensure dispersion of the polymer beads.
Melt:
- M40 is thermoplastic and will gradually soften and flow with increasing temperature.
- Heat activated coatings and adhesives can also be easily formulated.
Compatibility:
- M40 is compatible with other M Grade polymers and can be mixed in any proportion to modify either solution or dry film properties.
- M40 can be plasticized with many types of plasticizers to modify film properties.
Applications:
- Solvent-based adhesives including parquet flooring, polyester low-profile additive for pultrusion, BMC B-side carrier in polyester SMC.

Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
- M40 is a thermoplastic solid. To prevent sticking of the polymer beads, M40 should be stored in dry conditions, below +20°C (+68°F) out of direct sunlight.
- Pallets should not be stacked. Under these conditions, M40 has a storage life of at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
- M40 that have been stored for longer than 24 months should be tested before use.
